Hideo Takano has posted some pictures and information about his Mac Mini Pro mod. Actually, Hideo has been working on a series of Mac mini mods, but this one looks to be his masterpiece. He's basically turned the Mac mini into a miniature Mac Pro standing 3.28" wide by 7.8" tall by 6.5" deep. The specs aren't shabby either. It features a 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM and a 500GB 3.5" hard drive. The hard drive actually sits behind a removable side panel. You know, like its big brother, the Mac Pro. And it doesn't stop there. The Mac Mini Pro also features a front-mounted power button and USB port.

You definitely need to check out his website for the rest of the details. It's just an awesome looking mod. Nice job Hideo!

I just saw the second link with all the building steps. It's made of ABS plastic, not aluminum... (I guess I'm too used to seeing aluminum everywhere by now).

Still impressive, but I do wonder about the bottom vents of the Mac mini... I know a lot of us are used to having our Mac mini on top of a miniStack or similar, but still, having everything cramped into such a small area, I wonder about the heat._________________Mac mini 2010 (Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz/8 GiB)

I thought that it was aluminum at first glance. He must work as a professional in the plastics industry or something. The detail is incredible. Or maybe he just took the Graduate to heart. Either way, it's a sweet looking mod.
